Burning Of The Midnight Lamp
The morning is deadAnd the day is, tooThere's nothing left here to meet meBut the velvet moonAll my loneliness I have felt todayIt's like a little more than enoughTo make a man throw himself away
And I continueTo burn the midnight lampAlone
Now the smiling portrait of youIs still hangin' on my frowning wallIt really doesn't, really doesn't bother me too much at allIt's just the ever falling dustThat makes it so hard for me to seeThat forgotten earring layin' on the floorFacing coldly towards the door
I continueTo burn the midnight lampLord, alone
Loneliness is such a drag
So here I sit to faceThat same old fire placeGettin' ready for the same old explosionGoin' through my mindAnd soon enough time will tell,About the circus in the wishing wellAnd someone who will buy and sell for meSomeone to toll my bell
But I continueTo burn the midnight lampLord, aloneDarlin' can't ya hear me callin' you?So lonelyGonna have to blow my mindLonely
